PrepCase: case form sensitive to prepositions

Personal pronouns in some languages have different forms depending on whether they are objects of prepositions or not. For instance, Czech on (he) without prepositions has the forms jemu/DAT, jeho/ACC, jím/INS, while with a preposition it is němu/DAT, něho/ACC, ním/INS. Similarly, Portuguese pronouns in prepositional oblique case take forms different from oblique pronouns serving as direct objects of verbs: eu/NOM (I), me/ACC (give me that), mim/PREP-ACC (come to me).

Default empty value means that the word form is neutral w.r.t. prepositions.

Npr: non-prepositional case

This word form must not be used after a preposition.

Examples: [cs] jemu “him” (dative)

Pre: prepositional case

This word form must be used after a preposition.

Examples: [cs] k němu “to him” (dative)


PrepCase in other languages: [cs] [es] [u]
